Getting a 3:00 a.m. booty call from one of Scotland’s hottest footballers is every woman’s dream, right? No. It’s my worst nightmare. My sister’s marrying a billionaire. I’m a bridesmaid, and the groom’s Scottish cousin, Hamish, is a groomsman. We’re paired together in the ceremony, and the man is so full of himself, he’s bulging at the seams. Biceps bulging. Thigh muscles bulging. Everything bulging… Overflowing with charm and oozing animal attraction, Hamish is irresistible sunshine. And he knows it. But I’m not looking or admiring, because once this wedding is over, he goes back to Scotland and does his cute little job, where he runs around with a bunch of other grown men who all get paid obscene amounts of money to chase a ball around on grass. And I can get on with my life and my goals. That call, though. That call changed everything. How can I hate someone and want them so desperately? Because it’s him. That’s why. * * * A short, hot, frustrating prequel. ;) Long before Shopping for a Turkey, the first book in my Shopping for a Highlander series that features uptight Amy Jacoby and the ever-sensuous Scottish footballer Hamish McCormick, Amy and Hamish were in a wedding together. Her sister and his cousin’s nuptials, to be specific. This is the story of Hamish’s intensely steamy booty call, a subject mentioned over the years in my Shopping for a Billionaire series, especially Shopping for a Highlander, but now, dear reader, you will learn the truth about that infamous 3:00 a.m. call. Every dirty word. Fans of Julia Kent’s laugh-out-loud romantic comedies will devour this delicious mix of witty banter, heart-melting romance, and wedding-weekend chaos, packed with the irresistible charm (and hot Scottish heroes!) readers love. [Note to this was originally a 10,000 word short story, released in 2022 in an anthology. It’s been more than doubled and now includes Hamish and Amy’s perspective of the wedding they’re in. Have fun!]
